Suits & Knitwear (2) “Front-opening ‘cardigans’ are a great choice for innerwear as if you were wearing a vest!
When comparing knit sweaters and cardigans, the first major difference that is noticeable is the presence or absence of a front opening. It is said that the cardigan has its origin in the V-neck sweater worn by James Brudenell, the 7th Earl of Cardigan, commander of the British Army’s Light Cavalry Brigade, who changed the V-neck sweater to a button-fastening design for wounded soldiers during war, and the front opening is a major feature of cardigans. The open-front design has a vest/gilet-like atmosphere, and can be used as a suit innerwear without any sense of discomfort, just like an odd gilet.

The exquisite V-neck opening in the front of a knit cardigan creates a secure impression similar to that of a three-piece suit!
This men’s suit coordinate balances the presence of the checkered suit with the stoic choice of a plain white shirt and solid navy tie for the V-zone. The checked suit and matching gilet may look a little too much, but the knit cardigan maintains dignity while creating a moderately soft atmosphere.
Choose a Tilden-type knit cardigan as an innerwear if you want to glam up the V-zone of your suit!
Compared to other knitwear items, the cardigan’s charm lies in the fact that it has a front placket and buttons for a more flamboyant V-zone appearance. For an accentuation, we recommend choosing a Tilden-type cardigan with a different color on the front and body. It will give a different spice to your usual suit style and renew your impression.
